Is The Telegraph helping or endangering lives in Egypt?

The Telegraph’s decision to credit America with democracy movements is great, but the timing may be uappropriate, in Egypt’s situation. After all, the democratic movement is not yet in power. According to the news, the very leader who was the supposed connection to the US embassy a few years ago, is under Egyption arrest.

Under the present conditions, the release of such information may put democracy leaders’ lives in jeopardy. At least torture is almost guaranteed.

Therefore, where is the editors’ wisdom about such publication at this time? It appears as anti-American. Or worse yet, it may cause difficulties for US intervention or help with communicating with Mubarak.
